An old nun is trying to make the devotion clear to a young Protestant girl. The enquirer asks: **How can prayers said over and over again like that be any good?" Mistress Margaret was silent for a moment. "I saw young Mrs. Martin last week," she said, '''with her little girl in her lap. She had her arms around her mother's neck, and was being rocked to and fro; and every time she " rocked she said 'Oh, mother.' "But, then," said Isabel, after a moment's silence, "she was only a child." " 'Except ye — " become as little children ' quoted Mistress Margaret softly—"you see, my Isabel, we are nothing more than children with God and His Blessed Mother. To say, 'Hail Mary, Hail Mary,' is the best way of telling her how much we love her.

  • What Is the Angelus? “The Angel of the Lord Declared Unto Mary…” D.D. Emmons the Catholic Answer
    What Is the Angelus? “The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary…” D.D. Emmons The Catholic Answer 4/4/2011 Among our many Catholic devotions, few are more beautiful or have been contemplated more often than the Angelus. Designed to commemorate the mystery of the Incarnation and pay homage to Mary’s role in salvation history, it has long been part of Catholic life. Around the world, three times every day, the faithful stop whatever they are doing and with the words “The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary” begin this simple yet beautiful prayer. But why do we say the Angelus at all, much less three times a day? A review of Church history shows that this devotion did not appear suddenly, but developed over several centuries. Called By the Bell Most Church historians agree that the Angelus can be traced back to 11th- century Italy, where Franciscan monks said three Hail Marys during night prayers, at the last bell of the day. Over time, pastors encouraged their Catholic flocks to end each day in a similar fashion by saying three Hail Marys. In the villages, as in the monasteries, a bell was rung at the close of the day reminding the laity of this special prayer time. The evening devotional practice soon spread to other parts of Christendom, including England. Toward the end of the 11th century, the Normans invaded and occupied England. In order to ensure control of the populace, the Normans rang a curfew bell at the end of each day reminding the locals to extinguish all fires, get off the streets and retire to their homes.

  • Praying the Rosary
    PRAYING THE ROSARY With Scriptural Texts Words of Pope John Paul II “The Rosary has accompanied me in moments of joy and in moments of difficulty. To it I have entrusted any number of concerns; in it I have always found comfort. (RVM2) “O Blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to angels, tower of salvation against the assaults of hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death; yours our final kiss as life ebbs away.” (RVM41, Pope John Paul II quoting Blessed Bartolo Longo) “I believe the Rosary is simply walking with Mary through the life of Jesus”. - Sr. Briege McKenna. This booklet has been copied and adapted from the original compiled and published by Isabel and Peter Rodgers, which is now out of print. It is reproduced by kind permission of Simon Rodgers. 1 INTRODUCTION The first prayer will be to the Holy Spirit (see below). Then each of the four sets of five mysteries (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Mysteries of Light) will commence with prayers for the church, i.e. the Apostles Creed, one Our Father, three Hail Marys and one Glory be to the Father. During each mystery, a brief text from Scripture will be read before each Hail Mary. At the end of each set of five mysteries the Hail Holy Queen is said. PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful And enkindle in them the fire of your love.

  • MARIAN Prayers for the Month Of
    MARIAN Prayers for the Month of May May 1 MARY: THE MOTHER OF GOD "When the Blessed Virgin said yes, freely, to the plans revealed to her by the Creator, the divine Word assumed a human nature -- a rational soul and a body -- which was formed in the most pure womb of Mary. The divine nature and the human were united in a single Person: Jesus Christ, true God and, thenceforth, true man; the only begotten and eternal son of the Father and from that moment on, as man, the true son of Mary. This is why our Lady is the mother of the Incarnate Word, of the second person of the Blessed Trinity, who has united our human nature to himself for ever, without any confusion of the two natures. The greatest praise we can give to the Blessed Virgin is to address her loudly and clearly by the name that expresses her very highest dignity: ‘Mother of God'." 7 Let us offer to our Mother today: Brief but frequent prayers of love, such as: "Mother of God, your petitions are most powerful." May 2 MARY: THE MOST PERFECT CREATURE "She who is full of grace, the object of God's pleasure, exalted above all the angels and the saints, lived an ordinary life. "Mary is as much a creature as we are, with a heart like ours, made for joy and mirth as well as suffering and tears. Before Gab- riel communicates to her God's plan, our Lady does not know that she has been chosen from all eternity to be the mother of the Messiah.
